How to Enable and Turn Off Live Caption in Windows
Windows 11 just got even cooler! Its latest version, 22h2, now includes a feature called Live Captions, which can display real-time subtitles for audio and video files. Not only can this help those with hearing loss, but it can also assist non-native speakers or those trying to learn a new language. The best part?

How to Enable Closed Captions on Windows 10
Closed Captions are not the same as Live Captions, nor are they a substitute for this Windows 11 feature. They are detailed and time-coded subtitles, and they’ll appear at the correct time during the video you’re watching. Although not the same as Live Captions, Closed Captions are of great help when watching videos in a foreign language. Deaf and hard-of-hearing people also use them to understand better what’s being said in the movies they’re watching.

- Play the video, then right-click or tap and hold anywhere on the video until a menu bar appears.
- If closed captions are available, a CC icon will appear. Click or tap it.
- Select the language you want closed captions to be displayed in.
- Closed captions will immediately appear, typically at the bottom of the screen.
If a closed caption file is not available for the video you’re watching, you should receive a pop-up message notifying you there are no closed captions to be displayed.
How to Customize Closed Captions on Windows 10
You can customize how your Windows 10 device is displaying closed captions:
- Go to Settings.
- Select Ease of Access.
- Go to Closed Captions under the Hearing section.
- Choose the caption color, its transparency, size, and style.
- Notice how the captions change in the preview window.
If you’re not satisfied with your choices, simply select Default for the drop-down menu for each category, and the captions will return to their original Windows 10 style.
Live Caption is an impressive feature that can provide audio-to-text convenience for users everywhere. It empowers users to hear what’s being said in newscasts, lectures, narrated video clips, and all other audio sources.
Also, it removes communication boundaries for learners of any language, aiding them to understand different dialects easier. So forget about expensive software or stressful troubleshooting – now you can use live captioning right inside Windows as if it were just another ordinary program.
